is!: EVENING BULLETIN. Naturday, December IE4 1868. THE WAS IIN THE EMIT. All hopes of preserving the peace between Greete and Turkey have- been dispelled by the premnce of actual hostilities. The Greeks have begun the war, with eagerness and spirit characteristic of their race. A Turkish man of-war attempted to overhaul a Greek steamer, and was fired into. The Turk retaliated, and when the news of the encounter reached Constantinople, the Sultan despatched a fleet to the arc,hipelago, and officially announced Lis determination to enforce his demands upon King George. In Greece, the declara tion of war was received with unbounded en thusiasm. A call for the military reserves was responded ta with alacrity; volunteers flocked in from all quarters; battalions Of students and laboring men and merchants paraded 1 the streets of Athens headed by bands of music, and the popular cry de manded an aggressive movement against Tur key—an invasion of her territory. It is said that the command of the Grecian troops has been offered to Garibaldi, but his reply has not been announced. It is not at all likely, however, that his infirm health will permit him to assume such an arduous position, al though weinety - Ifis assured that his sympa thies would tempt him to do so. The result of this cannot possibly be fore told. An intelligent conjecture, founded upon the relative strength of the contending parties, and the attitude of the great powers of Europe, is the most that can be , attempted. If Greece simply pits herself against Turkey, without any extraneous support, the conse quences will probably be disastrous. Both are feeble when compared , with their neigh bors, fiat of the two, Turkey is by fai the stronger. The Sultan can bring such power to bear upon Greece that a war would soon degenerate into a series of disorganized skir mishes, in which the Greeks would fight without the slightest hope of doing more than harassing their opponents. But it will perhaps occur that other contestants will appear in the field. When Turkey has been committed irretrievably to war, Russia may intervene, and give to Greece more powerful aid than she could obtain from any other source. The recent bold conduct of the Athenian govern ment indicated pretty -- plainly that its confidence was derived from the presence of a strong ally. If the Czar should intermeddle, what then will the other great powers do? The King of Greece is brother to the future Queen of England, the most popular woman in Great Britain to-day. This would seem a suffioient reason why the British Government should at least preserve a neutral position in the present war. But zeport says that France and England together endorsed the demand of the _Sultan, that Greece should withdraw its airpport from the bran, Cretans; and if this is so, it is quite impossible to perceive how either of these countries can avoid supporting the Sultan actively, in the event of interference by the Czar. If all these powers should become involved in the contest, there will be a great convul sion in Europe. Prussia will seize the op portunity to consummate her schemes of ag grandizement. Rome, stripped of her French troops, may fall an easy prey to Italy. Aus- tria will probably proceed to consolidate the tik , south German States into a confederation; t and if France is beaten.or compelled to carry A , on a prolonged and exhaustive conflict, there may be a revolution in which Napoleon will be overthrown. Now that the , fighting has begun, events will occur in quick succession, • and we shall soon know whether there is . simply to be a little sparring between third rate powers, or a devasting general European war. THE IJDION PACIFIC RAILROAD. The opposition to the rapid completion of the Union Pacific Railroad has failed to ar rest the progress of the work, and the Com pany now announce no less than Nine Hun dred and Sixty Miles as finished. The grading is more than a hundred miles west of the track, and the contractors have made all their arrangements to "push things," all through the winter. Less than four hundred !miles remain to complete the connection with the Central Pacific, and at the present rate of constructibn, there will be an un broken line of railroad travel from Philadel phia to San Francisco, even sooner than the earliest day that has yet been publicly named. To push forward the grading of the road so far in advance of the track, and to keep every department of the work in motion through the winter months, the Company have of course been compelled to anticipate the Government subsidies by the amount of several millions of dollars, and to reim burse themselves for this heavy outlay, it • • will be seen that they now offer a limited amount of their First Mortgage Bonds at par, • , ith the January coupons payable in gold in New York. This extra inducement will un doubtedly attract the favorable notice of capitalists, Nthile the near approach of the time when the road shall be completed pro duces a steadily increasing conviction of the certainty and stability of the investment in this great enterprise. The highest testimony that has yet been + paid to the thorough manner in which the Union Pacific Railroad is built comes from the very movemen:, which was intended to _break down that testimony. President John eon's roving Commission, set up and sent out without any shadow of authority to spy out the nakedness of the land, comes back as the spies of old came, laden with the fruits of their exploration in the shape of a report which is like nothing in the world so much as the report of the prophet Balaam; and the Barak who induced the President to transcend his authority in order to arrest the triuntphant march of this great improvement may well take up the words of his ancient prototype 4, ; ,d complain to the special Commission, "I -,tsplubee, to curse mine enemies, and lo,thou :t Nest them altogether." The few points 'which the report of the Special Commission -made against the road were swept away like 2',o6obwebs by the tr asterly exhibit of the work l''4lkme and being done, which immediately I°l- '• lowed the repc.:t; and'the resumption of the , t, , - jtErtle Of the Ge":,:nnnent bonds is the practi -: :cal answer to the outcry about the bad faith ofthe, Union Pacific Railroad. Any on e who will take the trouble to study t'4- woe map of Utah and the route of the Pacific Ihtilroad will see that there is something more than the mere desire to build the larger por- Vito of the road, Which is acting as the incen- **• * r 1114t54 . 17; " ;I I: I s'l , I[l` ;9, : tive, on the one hand, to push, and, on - the other, to retard the work on the Union Pa— cific._ The one hundred miles of road west of Great Salt Lake 'will form the point of connection for the northern and north • western branch roads. Oregon, Idaho and Montana . will pour their trade and travel into the main continental artery at Able point, and it is patent to.all observers that, in addition to the natural ambition to complete the road at the earliest possible day, there is • every reason why both the Union Pacific and the 'Central Pacific should desire to cdver this particular hundred miles with their own track. This great rail road is not being built for amusement,nor yet for mere sentimental philanthropy and patriotism. It is a grand business operation, and those interested in it are shrewd, ener getic, driving, thorough-going business men. It is their highest interest - to build their road quickly and to build it well, and how well they are promoting this . interest every one who studies the progress of the road may readily perceive. Until the road is completed. a very large part, much the largest part, of its traffic must be engrossed for the purposes of its own con struction, and its capacity for general trans portation cannot be tested until its own con struction trains , have given it up to the passengers and the commerce that are to flow over it. And yet with all this drawback, its public business is already enormous,• and it is rapidly building up a great local trade, which is but a small indication of what its future Is to be. The single fact that the Union Pacific has already eight hundred locomotives either in service or in course of construction speaks volumes for the scale upon which its business is to be done. We are glad that Hr. , Joluison has -inter fered with the construction of the Union Pacific, for the simple reason that it has pro— duced fresh demonstrations of the extraor dinary energies that are at work developing the great resources of the West, and illus trating the - resistless progress of American spirit arid-genitts. A. few more months, and the great chain will be rivetted together, "And when across the /gains they ride, May we be there to see." .ECESIIAL@TION. The public mind is at last aroused to the absolute importance of returning to specie paymats, and it seems pertinent to inquire, whether, it we cannot immediately resume, we might not so greatly reduce the premium on gold, aeto make the final step one of far less difficulty and danger? No one can deny that ice can only re-- turn to specie payments, by making gold plenty and cheap; by doing all we can to crush the fictitious premium; by dis countenancing speculations in gold, and by showing those`who are hoarding it, all over the country, that the sooner they sell the better for them. All intelligent writers agree that since 1860, in settlement of our balances of trade with foreign nations, we have exported only about one half the actual product of our mines of the precious metals. The acctunulation since 1860, added to the stock then in the United States, gives us now an actual reserve of gold exceeding $500,000,- 000. Of this vast sum about only $100,000,000 can be discovered in the United States Trea sury and in the National Basks; the balance, "though lost to sight to memory dear," is now intangible for public use, but will be brought out for sale whenever Congress takes proper steps to dispel the illusion which now gives the dollar a fictitious value of thirty-five to - fifty per cent. premium. Austria and Italy,both suffering from recent wars,are,like ourselves, suffering also the evils of an irredeemable paper currency. But in the former gold commands only five per cent., and in the latter about eight per cent. pre mium; and yet those two nations together do not mine a single million dollars of gold and silver per annum! We must therefore look to another cause than want of gold for the disgraceful premium in the United States : to bad legislation! The premium on gold can be promptly re duced nearly to par, say to about 'what it was in England during the twenty years suspen sion of the Bank, 8 or 10 per cent., which is greater than the average premium in Philadelphia during the suspension of the "United Sfates Bank," from May, '37, to August, '42: generally say E to 8 per cent. The Government, for reasons, the wisdom of whin we never could discern, have stead ily fostered speculation and helped sustain it, by storing, insuring and lending their credit on gold, without charge and without the slightest use or benefit to the Treasury. They have no more right to issue government credit on gold, than on leather, iron, coal and pork; and we., only wonder these greater interests have not long ago demanded the issue of certificates on deposits of their materials, either of which is now vastly more useful to the public than is. the gold. Let the government promptly recall all certificates of gold de posited, and we should find that two-thirds of the amount now on deposit would have to be sold to refund the money borrowed on United States certificates. Let the govern ment authorize coupons of United States bonds, maturing within six months, to be re ceivable, the same as gold, in payment of duties at the Custom House. Let the Treasury issue certificates of coupons, available for duties in lien of the present certificates of gold deposits. In thirty days the premium on gold would be down to ten per cent., without disturbing the currency or trade of the country. Our National banks, savings banks, and many thousands of capitalists, would take Treasury certificates for their coupons, and &Once try to sell them at the best mar ket price. Coupon certificates, available for duties within the next half year, would com mand the highest price; those available after six, and within twelve months, the next rate; those available after twelve and within eighteen months, a still lower rate, dso., Now, as the Treasury only collects gold from duties in order to pay these coupons, why not receive the coupons as they m%ture semi-annually? It will certainly cost no more to pay them in this way, and the sa?ne or !ionization which now sustains the specu lation in gold would be turned againt it! Pass simple common sense resolutions in structing the Secretary of the Treasury to carry such measures into effect, and the gold dealers in .New York would all be Btara to--morrow. All hoarders of gild throughout the land would know that the day of redemption wad conziny, and make haste to change their long coveted gold for greenbacks. With gold at 8 to 10 per cent. premium, silver would soon become abundant for,small change, and tlu3 only contraction of the currency the Secretary- could. usefully - make would bethe payment of his postal currency in small silver, before the 4th of July, '69. • It Congress would only act with a little plain practical buquess common sense, the fears and the dimgers--ef remin:ll4on would vanish in a week. Unless our -exports of specie exceed the products of our mines, our greenback currency, imperatively demanded for the development and trade of the country, would be at par in a year! No currency can be better secured than that we now have. The gaming population and vast development demand it; and if our -exports-be so -regulated -ea-to-leave $60,- 0 00,000 solid coin in the ,country year after year, no Clique; no Panic, no Failure of Crops, will ever make a greenbaek note worth less than pax ! • We repeat, Gentlemen of Congress, to re sume, you must , cheapen gold by any means in your power,—you must make gold plenty and not make currency scarce.

Newsboys , and ILlootbiszclga , Rome. . A meeting of gentlemen and ladies interested in the establishment of this greatly-needed charity was held on Thursday last at Dr. J. L. Leconte's residence, on Spruce street. There were present at the meeting, Mr. William Wider, Rev. Phillips Brooke, Mr. Henry Winsor, Dr. F. W. Lewis, Mr. Atherton Blight, Mr. I. P. Lesley, Dr. T. H. Bache, Mrs. H. E. Gilpin, Mrs. Aubrey H. Smith, Mrs. Charles Gibbons, • Mrs. Turn penny, Mrs. P. M. Clapp, „Mrs. Samuel : M. Felton, Miss Charlotte Morris, - Idies l ThWateon, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Pettit, Mrs. Hibbard Yarnell, Miss T Mary . Ellicott and Mrs. Bloomfield H. Moore. Rev. Phillips Brooks was called to the chair and Mrs Aubrey H. Smith appointed Secretary. The object of the proposed association was de fined to be that of providing food and shelter for the crowd of homeless boys who gain a preca rious livelihood as newsboys and bootblacks, or in the exercise of any other sort of small street traffic, and whose homeless and friendless position exposes them to every kind of hardships, and so contact with every kind of crime, preparing them to grow up the pests an scourgescu of the society which has neglected and ignored them. The need of such •an institution has long been felt, and some years ago an effort was made to establish one; but owing to various causes con nected partly with the dietractions of the war, it was diverted from its original design; and there la now no provision in the large city of Philadel phia to meet this pressing claim. In New York shorn of the kind referred to has been established for several years under the direetion of the Children's Aid Society, and is now in successful operation, the records showing that during the thirteen years that the lodging house has been at work more than 40,000 different boys have been sheltered and assisted, the num ber each night averaging about 150. The plan proposed here is that each boy should pay a• email amount for his board and lodging, so as to promote a feeling of independence the expenses to be mainly defrayed by,subscrip tions and contributions from the members of the Association. The design is to assist the boys to help themselves, and while affording them whole some food and decent shelter, to furnish them with such instruction and occupation as will di vert them from the attendance of the gin shops, low theatres and other vicious resorts to which they nightly throng, and will tend .to elevate their aims and raise their positions in life. Any earnest man may convince himself of the need that exists for such a place as this by going round himself at night among the wharves, fac tories, newspaper offices and other outside places whore these little shivering fellows are sleeping literally in piles. A Now York contemporary says: "I have seen masses of them sleep ing in boxes, or under stairs, or in the lobbies of offices till the printers would drive them away by pouring water on them. Some lie in old burnt-out buildings or out-honsos, or around steam factories of any kind, for warmth; and one THE D'Alfilr.EV .6141.11% BiadikTlN , 4 l llll,ll.)il PE .!rl• (I '3 I 19 -1868.

Ah, what a scene was there I What grief and ansuleb ! - What unutterable woe! The three women entered, paler by far than the dead bodies stretched out so strut and ghastly upon the prison floor. First came from these despairing women such piercing ehrieks as love only can utter when it feels that all it lived for Is lost forever. Then tears like rain, bursting from ovegflown fountains, and moans so touching in their plaintiveness and utter despair that not . even the most stolid could , keep from weeping. Then followed that quiet, almost stolid look, a sort of blank, purposeless agony, that tells that hearts are breaking, that grief's work is perfectly done. Great God! what a spectacle of utter woe it was! The outburst of grief ended, the quiet of despair settled_ upon the faces of the women. But not long did one of them remain under the burden. The sister of the three Reit() brothers, an intelligent and handsome young lady, dried her eyes with her handkerchief, then, taking the grief- stained piece of linen, she placed it over the face of her brother William, who to the last declared his innocence; then she kneeled beside the dead man, and laid her left hand over his heart, and, raising her right hand toward heaven. she took this terrible oath: "Oh! thy poor murdered brother, may God curse your sister if she avenge not your death terribly and fully. This 'I will do, so help me God!" What a tragic scene was this—the dark, strong - walla on r all sides, and the cold stone floor under her knees —the sable garments of the bereaved sister, the pale face turned upward and the white hand pointing beltvenward.! What a tableau of death, despair, love and revenge! Canadian View of the Outrage. The Montreal Herald says: Some weeks age several Americans were arres ted in Canada, and being claimed by the Ameri can Government on the ground of their having ben] implicated in an express robbery, were sent hack to that country for trial. But they were thus sent in order that they should be tried, and, if convicted, executeo—if that were the sentence of the law—but not that they should be mur dered. It would be an insult to the surrender rig Government to do anything 'neon siste.nt with a Just regard to the rights of the supposed criminals to a fair trial. For an American mob to go to a jail where men ex tradited from Canada were lying awaiting their trial, take them thence,and hang them,was there fore an outrage first, no doubt, upon all that men living in society together are bound to re spect, but also upon our Government to which the American Government was bound. We, of course, do not mean to say that any govern meat can be made responsible for the sudden violence of a mob ; but unquestionably all governments which have asked for the extradition of accused per sons are to be strictly held to account for their safety. We suppose, therefore, that our govern ment will claim from the Washington govern ment the most earnest efforts for the discovery and punishment of the persons concerned in the lynching of the express robbers. It is quite evi dent tbat if such things are to be done, extradt mon Damn cease. We cannot send men over the birder to be torn to pieces by an unauthorized its ble. no matter what their crimes may be. INOCRX'AV.GIIIIOD.4• KID GLOVES. J. M.
